Distribution of rhenium in molybdenite from porphyry Cu–Mo and Mo–Cu deposits of Russia (Siberia) and Mongolia

Rhenium was determined in representative molybdenite samples (concentrates) from the Aksug, Erdenetuin-Obo, Zhireken, Shakhtama and Sora porphyry Cu–Mo and Mo–Cu deposits of Russia (Siberia) and Mongolia. The Re contents in the majority of the concentrates are low, ranging from 6 to 460 ppm. The maximum Re contents were determined in molybdenite concentrates from the Aksug (460 ppm Re) and Erdenetuin-Obo (199 ppm Re) Co–Mo porphyry deposits and...
